1999 Justin Isosceles

[RAD]

I'm sure I'll end up doing just that, WW--holding on to the rest. Couldn't resist popping one now to see how it was, considering how much I've liked other 99 cabs (Insignia, Phelps regular Napa cab, Viader, Pine Ridge Rutherford, etc.)--especially since all the Justins I've had have been fruit-forward and seem to be produced for the near-term as well. From my limited experience with them, they have erred to the side of overripeness, and this one just went too far in that direction, IMHO. The 99 Justification, on the other hand, is in my mind their best effort ever for that wine, and I'm sitting on a case (okay, 11 now [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img] ) for the itermediate-haul.
